PLOW ATTACHMENT.

Specification of Letters Iatent.

Patented Jan. 23, 1908.

maman med rebiuary 7, 1905. sean No. 244,605.

-ed and easily-applied attachment whereby moldboard's, hoes, coverers,and the like. of various forms may be adjustably connected tothe-standard.

Another object of the invention is to pro- Vvide an attachment of theclass above reierred to which may be adjustably attached to thestandard.

With these and other objects in view, which will appear as the nature ofthe invention is better understood, the same consists in certain novelfeatures of construction, as hereinafter fully described and claimed.

' In the accompanying drawings', forming a part of this specification,and in which corresponding parts are denoted by like, designatingcharacters, is illustrated the preferred form of the embodiment of theinvention capable oi carrying the same into practical operation, itbeing understood that the invention is not necessarily limited thereto,as various changes in the sha e, proportions, and general assemblage oft e parts may be resorted to Without departing from the principle of-theinvention or sacrificing any of its In the drawings, Figure 1 is a sideelevation of a portion of a plow-beam and its standard with the improvedattachment a lied. Fig. 2 is a transverse section on t e ine 2 2 ofFig. 1. Fig. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the foot portion ofthe device detached.

The improved device comprises a framevals by threaded apertures 16,andthe flanges 14 15 are similarly pierced at intervals by threadedapertures 18. The elongated aperture 11is designed to receive the clamp-'to the foot mem erV an `tion, can

bolt 20, whereby the moldboard, hoe, or similar member 21 is secured,the clamp-bolt being also utilized to vsupport a-coverer member 22 whenone is employed or other member of a similar kind. The threadedapertures in the flanges are to receive set-screws, as at 23 24 2526,for bearing against the rear face of 'the member 21 and the forwardface of the member 22, and thus adjust them to any required extentwithin the range of the set-screws. By this simple arrangement it isobvious the moldboard and eoverers or other blades or implements emploed ,ma beflrmlyclamped d readily adjusted thereon to an vre uiredextent'and without dis lacin or etae g any of the arts. It Wil also eobvious that by provi ing a lu-` rality of the threaded apertures and anJe oni gated slot for the binding-boltv the device is adapted for anysize or form of moldboard or other like member employed in connectionwith the various makes of agricultural implements of the class hereinreferred to and without'structural chan e of any kind.

The frame 10 is provided with a lug 27, eX- tending from the upper endand leaving two transverse recesses 28 29 in the outer end. The member10 is also provided with a trans- 'verse aperture 30 to receive thebinding-bolt 31, by which the standard 32 of the low, cultivator, orother sup orting imp ement is connected and by vW 'eh means the footmember is also connected to the standard. The standard is also providedwith a 'transverse bolt 33 for consecutively engaging one of therecesses 28 29 as required to provide for adjusting the foot memberrelative to the standard. By this simple means the foot member isfirmlyv clamped to the standard, while at the same time adjustablerelative thereto within the range of the recesses 28 29.

The foot member will preferabl be in one f single ieee and ofcast-steel, mal eable iron,

or the like, but may be in several pieces suitably united, if'foundnecessary.

The im rovod device is simple in construcllie inexpensivelymanufactured, and

IOO`

is readil ada table by makirny slifrht and im y materia mo ilica'tionsto all the various forms 'of plows, cultivators, and the like requiringsuch an attachment.

Having thus described my invention and in what manner the same is to beperformed, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters'Patent,is

1. A plow-foot having lateral flanges at the IIO , Ward flanges andbearing against said furrow-opener, set-screws operating through thethreaded apertures of said rear flanges and bearing against said coverermember.

2. A plow-foot having a longitudinal aperture extending from front torear and with lateral flanges at the front and rear provided withtransverse threaded apertures therethrough, a furrow-opener and a'coverer member disposed respectively at opposite sides 'of said footmember, a clamp-bolt connecting said furrow-opener and coverer memberand extending through said longitudinal aperture, set-screws operatingin one set of said threadedapertures for bearing against saidfurrow-opener, and set-screws operating through the other set of saidthreaded aperltures and bearing against said coverer mem- 3. Aplow-standard, a foot member having lateral iianges at the front andrear with transverselydisposed threaded apertures therethrough, meansfor connecting said foot member to swing upon said standard, means forcoupling said foot member adjustably to said standard, a furrow-openerand a coverer membermovably connected respectively to the opposite facesof said foot member, and set-screws operating through said threadedapertures for bearing respectively upon said furrow-o ener and coverermember.

4, A p ow-standard, a foot member having lateral ianges at the front andrear and with transversely-*dis osed threaded apertures therethrough anpivoted'to swing from said standard, said foot member havnig spacedtransverse recessesat its upper end, a stopbolt carriedbyisaid standardfor alternate engagement with said recesses whereby the -foot member isconnected adjustably to said standard, a furrow-opener .fand a coverermember movably connected respectively to the opposite faces of saidfootmember, and

set-screws operating through said threadedf apertures for bearing,respectively upon said furrow-opener and coverer member.

5. A plow-standard, a foot member piv-y oted to swing from said standardand provided with spaced transverse recesses, a stopbolt carried by saidstandard for alternate engagement with said recesses,=a furrowvo enerand a coverer member connected to t i e opposite faces of said footmember. In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have heretoaffixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
